This limited‑edition poster was created for the exhibition Vers le vert presented at Ricardo Fernandes Gallery in Paris in 2013, featuring the work of Sérgio Bello (born 1952). Produced in an exclusive run of only 30 signed copies, it represents one of the rarest printed pieces associated with this pivotal moment in the artist’s career. The exhibition marked a period in which Bello’s ecological engagement became central to his artistic expression, affirming his commitment to environmental awareness through a vivid and highly personal visual language.
Bello’s trajectory spans several decades and includes early works that challenged social conventions in Brazil during the late 1970s. Over time, his practice shifted toward a profound reflection on nature, its fragility and the urgent need for preservation. His long‑term ecological approach has led him to explore the origins of life and the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. The painting reproduced in this poster belongs to a body of work that embodies this transition, combining expressive color, symbolic forms and a sense of environmental urgency.
The poster captures the chromatic richness and emotional intensity characteristic of Bello’s ecological period. It stands as a document of an exhibition in which the artist affirmed his political and environmental stance through the force of his imagery. As one of the last remaining examples of a 30‑copy edition, this signed poster is both a collectible object and a testament to an artist who uses his practice to advocate for the protection of the planet.
